Kai Makani C202

When Kai Makani C202 first came to market a few years ago, it had a hard time with potential buyers; it was on and off the market before eventually being able to find a quick fire sale. It was interesting that this unit couldn’t find the right buyer because it was a front row center unit with ocean views in both directions.

The extra large lanai on the second floor offers elevated views so it is in even better position to make the most of its height. The unit was very well taken care of over the years and extremely clean considering it was already 10 years old. After briefly being taken off the market in fall, the unit was relisted at the end of November and only needed 3 days before entering escrow. The unit sold after a 7 day escrow for a final sale price of $659,000, $20k off asking. 

Kai Makani Market Update 2017

The Kai Makani market is a great community to buy in for a variety of reasons which entices buyers to make a decent amount of purchases throughout the year. Although it is a productive complex in terms of turnover, it does not see as many condos sold as some of the other more popular Kihei condos like Hale KamaoleKamaole SandsKihei Akahi, and Maui Banyan. The complex’s desirability lies in the fact that it just across the street from the beach and low density of buildings. Each cluster is spread out nicely from one another that each unit can enjoy its own privacy because of the 9 acres the complex sits on. At the back of the complex is a gated community pool are an playground that makes the perfect onsite amenities for families.

This year to date, the complex has seen 4 units sold, 2 in the first six months of the year and 2 in the last 6 months of the year. All 4 units were sold within 1 year of coming to the market, which is a fast time frame considering these units cannot be used as vacation rentals. The community atmosphere functions at a slower pace because some units do not live on Maui full time. The sweet spot for the community is around the $500k and $600k range; so overall, this complex is representative of a middle tier Kihei condo complex. In 2017, the $500k has been the most favored with 75% of the sales falling in that price range.

  • Average asking price: $583,550
